It is worthy to note that, starting from the late 1970’s the general price level had skyrocketed beyond reasonable, imaginable and frightening degree. The Nigeria populace could not afford what used to be the minimum standard of living in the society, the economic and social needs of the people were on the increase and survival of the fittest becomes the order of the day throughout the rooks and crannies of Nigeria.
It is late glaring that there is a threat to our existence, continuity and hope as a single entity (country) of which urgent and correction measures must be put in place to revive our ailing economy from total collapse.
